Original 1st printing 4&5/8 x 7&1/4" concert handbill for the Grateful Dead appearing at the Boston Tea Party (15 Lansdowne Street location) in Boston, MA from 12/29-31/1969 (their ONLY non-Bay Area New Year's Eve show). Art by Bob Driscoll, the image is featured in the Art of Rock book on page 307 (plate 3.171). Medium-thin flat index stock handbill is in spectacular near mint (A- to A-/B+) condition; just a tiny thin bend in the upper left corner/margin and a whisper of surface wear, otherwise it's pretty much just as crisp/bright an example as you can hope to find. You can read all about the December 1969 exploits of the G.D.
